function calls in default.lua

[caponi]

Hi guys,

 

i need some help.

 

i will create some cycle buttons for the Mirage 2000 ...

but the clickabledata.lua is not working for keybindings.

 

so i have an idea that i will call a function instead of one value.

 

here is my idea.

may be that somebody could imagin what i have to do ...

 

i have to questions.

is it possible to call a function within the default.lua.value_down i.e. mycycle(3623, +0.1) instead of a fix value ?

 

and ...

in which lua file should i extend the lua with mycycle function ?

 

best regards

Alf

 

PS: the function is not complete because i don't handle the wrap around for the max value ...

but this could be a test for more

 

 

 

 

 

-- entries for default.lua

-- TACAN 10th

-- {down = 3623, up = 3623, cockpit_device_id = 23, value_down = mycycle(3623, -0.1), name = _('TACAN Channel 10 Selector CCW'), category = _('ALF Test')},

-- {down = 3623, up = 3623, cockpit_device_id = 23, value_down = mycycle(3623, +0.1), name = _('TACAN Channel 10 Selector CW'), category = _('ALF Test')},

-- TACAN 1s

-- {down = 3625, up = 3625, cockpit_device_id = 23, value_down = mycycle(3625, -0.1), name = _('TACAN Channel 1 Selector CCW'), category = _('ALF Test')},

-- {down = 3625, up = 3625, cockpit_device_id = 23, value_down = mycycle(3625, +0.1), name = _('TACAN Channel 1 Selector CW'), category = _('ALF Test')},

 

 

 

 

 

-- lua code where ever this must include ?!?!

local alftab = {}

 

function mycycle(kc, nxt)

i = alftab[kc]

if i == nil then i = 0 end

i = i + nxt

alftab[kc] = i

return i

end

 

-- test cases

mycycle(3623, 0.1)

mycycle(3623, 0.1)

mycycle(3623, 0.1)

mycycle(3623, 0.1)

mycycle(3623, 0.1)

mycycle(3623, -0.1)

 

mycycle(3625, 0.1)

mycycle(3625, 0.1)

mycycle(3625, -0.1)

 

for a, b in pairs(alftab or {}) do

print('A'..a..' B'..b)

end

 

print('Ende')

 

-- result may be ...

--A3623 B0.4

--A3625 B0.1

--Ende

a test was positive, but ...

 

the function mycycle was called once at the init and not at every button press :mad:

 

the next hope for keybindings will die :music_whistling:
